Chicago c/o 2015 Applicants (2011-2012 cycle) Forum

[Danny Mothers]

When the time comes, does anyone have any idea how Chicago notifies us with a decision? E-mail? Call? Snail mail?

If you're ED, then I believe they call everyone. Otherwise I'm not sure.

[Xifeng]

It's calls for RD & ED, unless you're international and then it's an email.

Any estimate on the gap between UR and Decision Made for RD people?

LSN doesn't show UR dates, does it?

No, but you can figure stuff out pretty easily by looking at submission/completion dates. So, it doesn't really matter.

and either way, the gap is huge for September submitters relative to those who sent later

[BigJohnso]

under review for ED today...

[maxpower430]

Complete as of 12/2, submitted on 11/15. good luck everybody.

[anewaphorist]

If the data were to talk, it would reveal that ED admits are getting phone calls on either next Friday (12/16) or the following Monday (12/19). Deffered/WLed ED applicants will find out about 10 days later.

Anyone else get that email from Loyola today that said from “Loyola University Chicago?” Kinda freaked me OUT a bit.

No, but last week I did get a huge packet from "Northwestern School of Law" and beneath that it said "of Lewis & Clark College." An enterprising TTT should rename its law school "Harvard Law School at XYZ College."

I guess yours was more innocent than mine, but I understand the frustration. Based on last year, RD people almost exclusively heard back on January 10th. Like, a gigantic wave of them.

[Dany]

Yeah I applied in November and still heard the same day as September submitters - on January 10.

Well I will mark that on my calendar and forget about Chicago for a while!

So does the status checker actually change from "complete" to "under review"?

Yes. I went complete 11/10 and UR 11/17.

So when are we thinking ED will hear back? I know last year it started on the 18th and given that the 18th in on a Sunday this year... the 19th maybe?

Last year the 18th was a Saturday...

Yes, that is why I said the 18th is on a Sunday this year

Do our questions have to be rigorous?

I'm from Chicago, but never lived near UChicago. What's nearby for public transport and how late/often to they run?

Always.

So how did it go ?

Unsure. Hopefully well?

Well there's the metra, and the UChicago buses run from early until like, 6:30. And the 6 goes downtown if you're near the lake. Depends on where you end up living! And the 2 goes from downtown to right by the law school during rush hour.

What is student culture like? Is everyone studying all the time and as nerdy as everyone makes it sound or do people have real lives outside of school?
